Chapter 282 Familiar People

Throughout Amber's "Star Sky OL" gaming career, he has never seen a real Forerunner battleship in the game.

Those 'Forerunner Unmanned Legions' that have become enemies of large guild-level groups are also Forerunner creations.

But in terms of positioning, they are just an 'auxiliary corps', which is still very different from the real forerunners.

The official did not release the background setting of this civilization soon, and some small amount of background stories are hidden in the game's plot waiting for players to explore on their own.

However, some senior "examination parties" can tell at a glance that this "Forerunner Civilization" can be said to be a stitched monster with a lot of science fiction game settings sewn together after just looking at some corner fragments.

But even so, until Amber traveled through, apart from discovering some ruins and creations, the players had never seen any of the Forerunners with their own eyes, let alone their spaceships and battleships.

Only in some stone carvings and murals made by unknown races, we have seen some scenes that are suspected of Forerunner warships "burning the earth".

These scenes, as well as the uniquely shaped spaceships in the scenes, can be said to be highly overlapped with the scene in front of Amber.

"So this is really a Forerunner warship. Why are they attacking cities on the ground? Are these people running away humans?"

Amber looked at the spacecraft suspended in the air in the distance and pouring firepower towards the ground, as well as the crowds of people running around.

After confirming that what was in front of her was just an illusion and that she was more of a 'viewer', Amber no longer had the panic she had at the beginning.

Anyway, I should, probably, probably won't be hurt, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Right?

Amber opened his legs and walked forward. After realizing that his body seemed to be unrestricted, he started running directly.

Because he didn't know whether the illusion in front of him would suddenly end, he decided to watch it for a while while there was still time.

When the streets were filled with people and vehicles running away, Amber became the only "rebel" on the street, and he also discovered that these people running away were not entirely human beings.

There are also some tall, handsome elves with a pair of iconic pointed ears.

"Huh? These elves actually live together with humans? How many hybrids will there be?"

Before Amber could finish her rant, she heard a rapid roar from behind.

Then several huge black figures passed over him at high speed, making him no longer the only 'rebel' on this street.

Amber looked at these huge black figures. They all had humanoid structures similar to HCP.

But compared to what Amber is familiar with, the current mainstream HCP in mankind generally adopts the design style of "little-headed daddy".

These 'humanoid giants' are more similar to the nine-headed body proportions and look more like real humans.

Now, these tall steel giants were arranged in some kind of battle formation in the long blue trails ejected from the back propulsion array, and they were heading towards the 'Forerunner Battleship' that was raging in the air.

The weapons in their hands are also diverse, which reflects from the side that the logistics system of this army has serious problems.

Meanwhile, in other areas around the city, squadrons of these HCP-like units sprouted from the streets between buildings.

At the same time as they launched their assault, they were also accompanied by attacks from a large number of ground-to-air fire support units. Beams, ballistic lines of fire, and missiles continued to attack the warships as if they were free of charge.

The steel giants in the assault continued to flexibly adjust their body shapes and assault routes, ignoring the interception of these air battleships, and continued to use their weapons to attack the huge targets in front of them.

At a certain moment, Amber could even see a spirit called "death but no life" in these steel giants, which gradually materialized in their attacks.

But unfortunately, their attacks seemed to have no other effect except stimulating some blue ripples on the surfaces of these spacecrafts.

Amber looked at the steel giants at the front of the team, and then at the battleships as stable as mountains in the sky, and she always felt that something was about to happen.

And just as this thought flashed through his mind, several large battleships that were targeted for attack suddenly swept out several beams of light.

Immediately afterwards, these almost infinitely long 'beam swords' easily swept across the path of the steel giants' advance.

The moment the 'giants' were attacked, their whole bodies lit up with light similar to 'shields', but these shields only lasted for less than a moment under the light of the beam, and then they collapsed one after another.

Following the trajectory of these beams sweeping through the air, a series of explosions appeared in the air.

The remains of the steel giants burned, spun, and fell in the air. The loud noise they made when they hit the ground became their last 'roar'.

Amber took a rough sweep and found that most of the HCPs that had just passed over his head were swept away by these weapons that seemed to be self-defense beams. Only the last two were still struggling to charge forward. go.

But they didn't last long. After the number of targets to intercept was reduced, these self-defense beams were able to concentrate their firepower on them.

The last surviving Iron Giant showed extremely high skills and broke into the last distance while dancing in this 'rain of death'.

But its mechanical arms and stepping units had been cut off by the beam during the advance, and there were few weapons left on it.

At this last moment, he resolutely used himself as the last weapon and crashed into it like a comet.

Perhaps the possible existence of the God could not sit idly by and watch their attacks become useless. When the steel giant turned into a huge plasma fireball, the shield of the battleship also faded in a blue "ripple".

The next second, more fierce attacks appeared from all parts of the city, just like the city's last struggle, pouring all the anger on the battleship.

When a thick blue-white beam pierced the middle of the battleship, the huge battleship finally lost control and fell to the ground.

But although the defenders of these cities have tried their best, they can only destroy this battleship.

And within the range visible to Amber's naked eyes, there are four such battleships in the sky, attacking the ground.

Amber quickened his pace, and the whole person passed through one street after another like a gust of wind.

Broken corpses, burning wreckage of combat vehicles, and those steel giants that fell between buildings

These "scenes" began to appear more and more frequently as they got closer to the center of the battlefield, and finally they were almost everywhere.

But strangely, he did not see the enemy that should have appeared on this battlefield.

But before he could remember to think about it carefully, he saw a temporary front-line command post at the corner of the street in the distance.

In this front command that was almost under the eyes of the "enemy", soldiers kept coming in and out, and there were troops around advancing towards the depths of the city.

In the city center that Amber could not see, the fierce fighting sound did not stop for a moment, as if this battle seemed endless.

Amber walked into this front-line command post that was obviously full of human style, but found that although the officers inside were in a hurry and anxious pace and movements, they still maintained a calm look on their faces.

The combat staff stared at the electronic sand table and kept doing temporary deductions.

The communications and logistics staff were in front of the terminal, communicating quickly with the people on the other end of the line, occasionally swearing.

"The guards of the Elf King's Court have joined the second assault group, and the last few Imperial Silencers who can still move will also join the battle. They will launch another attack on the enemy's "Descent Zone" in five minutes. Do we have any long-range firepower to support?"

"No, the attack just now has exhausted our last ammunition reserves for self-propelled artillery, rockets, and tactical missiles. After the mobile ammunition production center outside the city was targeted three days ago, we have been cut off from supply."

"Fuck! Without long-range firepower to weaken the enemy's defense field, their attack will be a big problem!"

A combat staff who looked like a Roma hammered the electronic sand table hard, causing the picture on it to shake.

"Stop hammering. This is the last electronic sand table. If you break it, we will have to go back to hand-drawing and command based on the city planning map from decades ago."

"Smash down an orbital defense platform? Although this thing has lost its attack capability, if we control it to smash down, it can also achieve the effect of orbital strike!"

"No, the variables are too large. If it hits our heads, we don't have to hit it."

Just as several combat staff officers at the electronic sand table were entangled, the terminal in the hands of a communications staff officer on the other side fell to the ground, and then he collapsed to the ground.

Several companions around him quickly supported him and prevented the communications staff officer from falling completely.

"What happened?"

"Major General Miu Miu and Major General Louis were killed in the assault just now. It was General Miu who finally detonated the small fusion furnace of the body and destroyed the shield of the enemy warship."

When Amber heard these two names, she felt her heart skip a beat.

He never thought that he would hear his familiar name in this illusion.

Did they have the same name? Could there be such a coincidence?

As soon as this thought flashed through Amber's mind, he saw a sturdy figure walking in from the gate of the command post.

He looked closely and saw a wolf-headed man wearing a combat exoskeleton and carrying an electromagnetic machine gun.

On the shoulder armor plate of his exoskeleton, there was also a symbol of a general officer in the Atlas military rank system that Amber was very familiar with.

"Admiral Hogg! Why are you at the front command?!"

"Yes! It's too dangerous here, Admiral Hogg! Go back to the rear!"

The combat staff saw this wolf-headed man and stepped forward to dissuade him.

And Amber also saw a familiar shadow on this 'wolf-headed' admiral.

"Humph, what is the rear? This is the final battlefield!"

Admiral Hogg's tone was very serious, but just when he was about to say something else, he looked in the direction of Amber.

At this moment, Amber seemed to feel that this gaze had traveled through time and looked directly at herself.

The eyes of the fierce wolf-headed man also became hazy at this moment.

A voice of surprise, disbelief, doubt, but at the same time igniting hope reached Amber's ears.

"Boss?!"
